None of you have seen the vile comments left on this site day in and day out for weeks now. I send them to the dustbin of spam. But before doing so, I thought I’d start saving them for posterity, to remind me of the sort of disgusting, deranged, despicable and rotten people that walk among us. This is the civility of the left.
Don’t bother with the email addresses, they’re obviously fake. The IP address goes back to a service allowing people to hide their identities. How very brave of them. Hiding behind “Hide My Ass.” Other times they use IP addresses of public places because they’re the worst kind of cowards.
Some of the comments this troll (or these trolls) leave include email addresses of other conservative bloggers. They fill up my email spam. They sign petitions in my name. They email spam to others in my name. They send me emails that appear to be from my friends. They go to other websites and leave comments in my name – with my email address and links back to this blog – that are vile and wretched. Thankfully I have some friends who are kind enough to let me know when they see this happening. As much as I would like to leave comments on all of the blogs I visit, I rarely have time. If I did there would be nothing on this blog. I suspect that’s the reason they’re doing what they do – to distract me. To shut me up. They’ve even broken federal law by calling my home using phony caller ID services. The police officer I filed a report with was very kind and understanding. My phone company assured me that once the report is ready they will be happy to provide me with the telephone numbers where those calls really originated. We’ll have to wait and see where that leads us.
This is the left. This is how they operate. Peggy Noonan was on to something when she wrote about the debasement of our culture, but she didn’t know the half of it. These are people who either have too much time on their hands, or they’re getting paid for their online activities. They’ve done this sort of thing to a number of my online friends, and one even had someone stupid enough to do it under his own twitter account. These are not your daddy’s democrats. These people are pure evil. When you see leftist leaders shaking their fists and calling for action, these are the people they’re talking to.
Oh, one more thing. This troll seems to think I keep my identity a secret, and that he’s somehow uncovered something I want to hide. I don’t. I’ve done several interviews under my real name, and the name of this blog. That’s why these super-sleuths were able to figure it out so easily. Unlike them, I am not ashamed of my opinions and my online activity. My name is Karen Beseth (pronounced Bee-Seth) and the reason I don’t post in my own name is that I am still employed (part time) outside of the home. I understand that some of our customers may disagree with my political point of view and thought it would be best if I didn’t broadcast my name day in and day out. If I was so concerned about keeping my identity a secret, would I have posed for a photo for The Other McCain? Regular readers know I have posted pictures of myself on occasion, like this one.
Would I do that if I was trying to hide my identity? Here’s another one, just in case you aren’t convinced.
Both were taken earlier this year at CPAC, where I was registered under my own name – quite unlike my stalkers, impersonators and harassers who hide behind fake IP addresses and Caller ID scams.
Update: Linked by The Other McCain – thanks. Conservative Commune also linked, and tells the tale of another blogger who has been under assault by the left.
In our own precincts, Enoch and company have had to rebuild this blog because a nasty script was superimposed here, and the likelihood that it was an accident is much diminished by its also having been foisted on our old blog, POWIP. On Twitter, there’s a rash of direct messages telling me and other righties that people are saying horrible things about us. If you’re dumb enough to click the link, your account also becomes a bot account that will inform other people that they are being libelled online.
Don’t click those links. Also, if you receive an email from me with some weird links, delete it.
Update: Linked by One of Nine – thanks, Tracy.

A very fine conservative lady who has been putting up with the left told me something very helpful a while back, “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
another good thing is what Thatcher said, “I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”

I’ve heard Leftists say: “Everything good in this country was always done by the Left. Everything bad in this country was always done by the Right.”
Their view of American history–absorbed from ghastly books like Howard Zinn’s “People’s History of the United States”–is pure Manichaeism: The left-wing forces of sweetness and light battling the right-wing forces of oppression and exploitation. And winning every time.
If you believe that your political opponents are just your fellow citizens with a different point of view, you’ll engage them sincerely with dialogue. But if you believe that your political opponents are incorrigibly evil, then you’ll try to destroy them with every weapon at your disposal.

I’ll tell you why they do this. They are failing historically.
Liberalism was once filled with civilizational self-confidence and thought of itself as a defender of all that was good about America. That’s when they produced men like Roosevelt and Kennedy, Truman and Acheson.
Now they don’t. Now they produce fearful mediocrities like Harry Reid and Keith Olbermann, who either lie to us or scream “you fascist” at the camera.
Confident movements do NOT do this! Only people who fear that their time is at hand grow angry, paranoid, and hateful. Their social model is collapsing, to the extent that even the Mexicans are fleeing Blue California because the Democrats are too incompetent to create jobs, while the Mexican Government is getting out of the way of job creators in an environment chock-filled with cartelistas and drugs.
The smart ones know that Obama is an historic failure, but they want to lock-in his “gains”, as if they were worth locking in. Thus, any opposition to the Dear Leader is dealt with as we read above.
They are angry and afraid. Their time in history is coming to an end. As Reagan fortold that we would transcend Communism, so we shall transcend Progressivism, and send that old, worn-out ideology to Marx’s Dustbin of History.

Leftist cowards. They claim to be “liberal”, yet they are the complete opposite. They claim to be “progressive” yet they are nothing but regressive statists, socialists, and Marxists…throwbacks who did not learn from history and are now attempting to repeat it. Some are proving to be fascistic and would ultimately lead us to a communist totalitarian state if they had their way. They are sick, vile, sad, intellectually lazy at best; intellectually disabled at times, and an embarrassment to our society in general. We are at a precipice and November 2012 will be a major fork in the road, and even if we win, our work will be far from complete in January 2013. Stay strong.

I’m glad to see someone besides myself call those on the Left “regressives”. I’ve used that term frequently when referring to the destruction of America under Obama’s off the chart Leftist agenda. There certainly can be no forward movement of America’s economy, jobs or any other category of growth one wishes to mention; except wasteful spending. That is so obvious we need not discuss it or what our grandchildren’s grandchildren will be calling us in the years to come.

Forensic Psychiatrist Explains the Madness of (Modern) Liberalism http://t.co/zoDKXZt
“…What the liberal mind is passionate about is a world filled with pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice. Those who occupy this world are “workers,” “minorities,” “the little guy,” “women,” and the “unemployed.” They are poor, weak, sick, wronged, cheated, oppressed, disenfranchised, exploited and victimized. They bear no responsibility for their problems. None of their agonies are attributable to faults or failings of their own: not to poor choices, bad habits, faulty judgment, wishful thinking, lack of ambition, low frustration tolerance, mental illness or defects in character. None of the victims’ plight is caused by failure to plan for the future or learn from experience. Instead, the “root causes” of all this pain lie in faulty social conditions: poverty, disease, war, ignorance, unemployment, racial prejudice, ethnic and gender discrimination, modern technology, capitalism, globalization and imperialism. In the radical liberal mind, this suffering is inflicted on the innocent by various predators and persecutors: “Big Business,” “Big Corporations,” “greedy capitalists,” U.S. Imperialists,” “the oppressors,” “the rich,” “the wealthy,” “the powerful” and “the selfish.”…”

I hope your web software allows for a ‘reject’ list that automatically saves the hate mail to a file. You can imagine what Rush and Levin and Beck have to deal with. I bet their webmasters have software to filter out this stuff, and wish they would share their advice on how to do that, but it is like cyberwar escalation. If they make it public, the creeps can work around it. Maybe CPAC should have a working group of web savvy types to get on top of this threat.

Don’t let the haters get you down kid (and I know you won’t). You are above them. Far above them. Progressives, liberals, socialists, or communists, whatever you want to call them, will always be with us. They have been sucked into the belief that the socialist ideology will benefit them in some way, when common sense shows that it will not. They cannot logically argue against conservative ideology and so they resort to attacking the person rather than the message. This is why they attack you, Zilla, Paul Lemmon, Donald Douglas, Michelle Malkin,Rush Limbaugh, and many others, and even, on a few occasions, myself. Personally, I consider their attacks as evidence of our doing the right thing. If they did not attack us then we aren’t doing our job, and not living up to our responsibility as Americans to protect our country. We may not be on the front lines in Afghanistan trading bullets with islamist psychos, we may not be in public office introducing legislation that protects Americans, but we are doing what every patriotic American should be doing – taking a stand against the destruction of America, and that is just as important as what conservative politicians and our Troops are doing. Remember that you are not alone in this fight. We all have your back, and we will all stand beside you. Keep doing what you are doing. You have them on the run.

Low life is what these degenerates are. But these bottom-feeding pukes are running and wrecking our country. The left has very few weapons: lies, personal attacks, name calling. Their ideas have always been wrong, but lying about them makes them sound good, and anyone who opposes them is a racist, a baby killer, homophobe, etc. Their lies are echoed 24-7 by their media, their teachers, entertainers and dishonest professors, making them sound logical just by their constant repetition.
